Barry man Carlton Williams, who now lives in Australia, has broken his own world record for the number of press ups in an hour

The rules

Guinness World Records said: "The clock did not stop at any point during Carlton's attempt, and both his hands had to remain flat on the floor for the full 60 minutes.

"Doing the push ups, he had to lower his body until a 90 degree angle was attained at the elbow, in order to add the rep to his tally and for it to be accepted by the attending Guinness World Records adjudicator."

The most push-ups completed in 24 hours is 46,001 - a record set by Charles Servizio, from the United States, in 1993.

A YouTube video captured the feat of Mr Williams, who used to live in Barry, Vale of Glamorgan.
